Can life get any better
You call us fools...but here's a statement by you that stuck in my mind:
Hmmm, you blatantly implied that you would purchase prescription drugs (illegal) from another NICO user on a public forum. There's a bright idea... :rolleyes

Your post was a lot more 'specific' than any of the others. Most of the posts were in good humor and rather non specific. Your post was much more specific and basically ammounted to finger pointing. I'm trying to keep this all from going balastic so I deleted it. I however didn't delete some of the other post's that disagree with my POV because I'm being fair. I also have a responsibility to keep this from blowing up into somthing out of control.

GENERALLY, the same <could> be said about marriage: too many modern-day compromises for it to be both meaningful and beneficial to both sides....making the whole institution a wash. People are still getting married every day....hoping for the best....maybe with good intentions, maybe not. Present-day divorce rate is a good indicator of the absolute lack of "family-oriented" lifestyle....the very thing that helped make this country great.
You'll notice the "Greatest generation", who suffered through the great depression and the last world war, those men and women stuck it out....looked for the positives....WORKED at their marriage, didn't give up, didn't throw in the towel when things got ugly. Generally, they did not get divorced. Generally, the leaders, citizens, families of that time had a greater sense of morality and basic core values....and not nearly as many lifestyle issues such as gays in the military, zero-emission vehicles, teenage mothers, darwin/evolution being the only curriculum, NAMBLA(sp?), and so on.
The tie-in between poor present day politicians and present day marriage/family is clear. Today, too many issues cloud the moral skyline, too many compromises dilute the political water. There used to be a time when rules were rules, men were men, and they stood by their word. Bush presents himself as a throwback, old-school, with traditional beliefs and traditional lifestyle. His style will irk the liberal, green left to no end.
It's no secret that Bush is big with industrialism. Industry builds nations. If you disagree with Bush and his policy, what are you doing to present a real world solution?
EDIT: uh oh, I sense a bit of tension in that last bit. Not trying to be argumentative...

MV240, you can delete my post, that's fine. However, selective censoring - including the last sentence of the post in an effort to make me appear ridiculous - is not very mature. Your excuse for zapping me is pretty gossamer considering other posts in this threads are about 20 times more extreme than anything I commented on (I mean, come on. Posts proposing assassination and flaming other members? And you left THEM up?). If you wanted to "keep control" of a political thread (by your own admission) you shouldn't have started one in the first place. You want to talk about this one-on-one, rationally, hit me up in AIM. It's in my profile.
I find it sad that this thread still has "Let's shoot Bush" and "Clinton sux" all over the place...but not my even discussion of Bush's environmental policy or Clinton's problems in office. What did I write that was inflammatory in any way? Please give examples. It's a fact that Bush's admin has rolled back environmental reforms. You can read that in any news source. That's not an opinion or an attempt to stir up the masses. Same goes for Whitewater/Waco/Adler's death - those are all items extensively covered in the press. Nothing that I said was presented in a controversial or rabble-rousing manner (ask SmithSR, he evidently read the whole thing.)
As for what the rest of my post contained, look at SmithSR's reply - I commented on how I felt it was difficult for leaders of today to accomplish great things, as there are compromises everywhere in the modern world (and I agree with SmithSR's correlation with the marriage aspect of 21st century life)
Please show me the same respect you would want to be accorded. If you want to delete me, go ahead, it's your perogative - but don't try to denigrate me in the process simply because I don't share your views. That's all I ask.

All Bush needs to do to get the press of his back for this Iraq thing is to do this.
Come right out in the public and say the Administration made a mistake. Take some documents to the press conference and say,"We read our security briefings and we thought it said Iraq was trying to obtain enriched uranium. We made a mistake, it was Iran that was doing this. Heck, the only difference is one letter right? " Then we can invade Iran and you can drive from Western Iraq to Pakistan all the while remaining in US controlled countries. Does life get any better? Who else can we invade?

This thread was started to make fun of the frech, celebrate jesica coming home, and the small victory in iraq. NOT to discuss enviormental policy, economics, or anything allong those lines. When they say "lets shoot sombody" that's fine by me, that goes allong with the somewhat fun and dimwitted reason for this thread being here. When you start to get more deeply into policy that is when things get complicated. I could sit here and shoot down every stupid reason you gave for what you thought but it wouldn't solve anything except to anoy more people and cause them to gripe. So why don't you just say bush is a moron and leave it at that? If you had been a little more short and sweet I'd have left it up, but insted you thought you'd try to educate us all on why we are so wrong. Well we don't care what you think anymore than you care what I think. So let's keep it simple and somewhat fun, talk about screwing interns or buying a new benz with big oil money.....

To the people deleting our posts - How can you start a political thread and delete any views that are in opposition to your own? Thats the definition of a discussion and you aren't letting us have it. You've lost all credibility with me and many other people reading this "discussion". Whats funny here is that the less conservative people posting on this forum are the only ones with data or content, everyone else is just spilling out phrases that sound like they overheard their parents saying. And no you couldn't shoot down every "reason I gave that I thought". It was mostly fact if you remember correctly. If you want to go back and...oh wait.....YOU DELETED IT.

Ummm.... if you'd go ahead and READ the post you just quoted... you can see that this question has already been answered. THIS WASN'T STARTED AS A POLITICAL THREAD!!! Its nature is lighthearted and humorous.

I'm sure he's reeling from that one.

Umm..... no, us "conservatives" are apparently the only ones that understand the point of this thread and are enjoying it for the comedic value. None of us have laced into any of your arguments against Bush or "us" in general. BELIEVE ME.... we have had MANY threads dragged through the mud with both sides making fine points. Why do you think political threads have been banned in the first place?
The point is.... have fun with it... don't take things personally or make things personal... and then we can all have fun.

your point is? If I wanted to make a political thread out of that I could have started in with some clinton bashing, then moved on to all the DNC's presidential canidates, talked about how weak our current military is, how much of a failure gun control has been, and then top it all off with GW's new supreme court picks who are all pro life.
BUT I kept it light and fun, too bad you can't seem to figure out how to do the same.....

BTW If I hadn't gotten rid of that post we would have 25 right wing replys to it and another 25 lefty's defending themselvs against it and the whole thing would have gone down the tube. If you havn't noticed a lot of people are looking at this thread and laughing, that's the point of it, not to start a war.

MV, thanks for removing that line, and I apologize if I took it the wrong way. I didn't mean to come off so hostile.
Also it's "pithy and short" not "piffy and short". But don't feel bad, O'Reilly probably doesn't know how to spell it either. j/k...
Okay, let's all turn down the rehetoric...I apologize for getting too in-depth in a place where it was inappropriate and starting this whole conflagaration. I'll restrict my comments to automotive stuff from now on.
